My guess is that someone with a similar political ideology to you upvoted forty of your comments on the recent political post.

ETA: Well I've been struck by the mysterious mass-upvoter as well! I'm pretty sure the political motivation hypothesis is wrong now.

The same thing happened to me today - within 12 hours I got at least +1 karma on every single post of mine from the last month and a half or so, which happened to be primarily on the history of life / 'great filter' threads.

I don't think it's ideological. Mysterious mass-upvoter?

Since my political ideology in that debate was trying to steelman both sides, I doubt this is the case, unless there is a fanatical steelmanner out there.
